There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries．One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent is Mother’s Day．Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures．The Ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”．The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday．However, over the years the custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century．
Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should ________ to their mothers for all their love and care．Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people－politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials－and asked them to support her ideas：a special day of the year for thanking mothers．
In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother’s Day into the state．The date chosen was May 10－the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today．This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died．In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States．
Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world．
Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned woman died in 1948．The custom she had worked so hard to establish and had become almost universal had lost its original purpose．It had been taken over by business．As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry．

As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “l(fā)adies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurse in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.
